The Presidency has assured that President Muhammadu Buhari is not in any form of danger either through infection or minor security breach at the Villa, Garba Shehu, his spokesman revealed in a statement.
The statement “acknowledged concerns expressed by several members of the public regarding the recent incident among the occupants of the State House which escalation led to the arrest of some staff by the police.
“This is to assure all and everyone that the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Muhammadu Buhari, is not, and was not at anytime in any form of danger arising, either from deadly infections or the reported incident by security personnel which is currently under investigation.”
Garba Shehu also emphasised that the “incident happened outside the main residence of the President”, stating that
“armed guards and other security personnel assigned to the State House receive the necessary training of especially weapons handling and where they come short, their relevant agencies have their rules and regulations to immediately address them”.
Having authorized the proper investigation to be carried out into this unfortunate incident by the Police, the President has acted in compliance with the rule of law, he added
He however decried the way critics of government are twisting the “minor occurrence” in the social media “justify attacks on the government and the person of President Muhammadu Buhari beggars belief”.
He said the president has authorised that the law should take its course in the whole saga.
